Marshall, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., of the British expedition, 1909-11'. In 1909 Rawling was attached to the British ornithologists' union expedition to Dutch New Guinea, now Central Papua in Indonesia. During the sea voyage, the expedition's leader was incapacitated and Rawling was called on to replace him. In New Guinea he explored many of the island's untouched jungles and had many encounters with native tribes including the first Western encounter with the Tapiro pygmies. In much of the terrain his expedition covered, they were the first Europeans ever to reach these regions. The maps and reports from this expedition were the first from this area of New Guinea. .
